What is the best way to move from 12.1 to 12.3 and keep /home (not a partition of it's own) and /var/spool/news ( /var is a partition on a SSD)?
Or is it better to use 12.2 currently and go to 13.1 later on?
Version to version updates are supported
Officially you would upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2, then 12.2 to 12.3
That is certainly the most tested approach, but several people have also reported success going straight from 12.1 to 12.3
I think most of the devs now just use "zypper dup" to upgrade. Instructions are at: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade
You can jump versions with more chance of support via the off-line method: <http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Offline_upgrade> And <http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/cha.update.html> - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
